👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Set Up a Coating Station

Organizing your coating station helps ensure the mushrooms are evenly and thoroughly breaded.

Pro Tip: Add roasted garlic flakes to the breadcrumb mix for extra flavor.

Step 2: Bread the Mushrooms

Proper coating is key for a crispy bite that locks in moisture.

  • Dredge each mushroom in the seasoned flour, tapping off excess.

  • Dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.

  • Roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat all sides.

Chef’s Note: Don’t rush—pressing the coating in firmly helps it stick during frying.

Step 3: Fry to Golden Perfection

Use a wide skillet and heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for best crispiness.

  • Add about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat.

  • When a test crumb sizzles, it’s ready.

  • Fry mushrooms in small batches for 2–3 minutes, turning for even browning.

  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Safety Tip: Avoid overcrowding, which lowers oil temperature and leads to sogginess.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Immediately

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with:
